Dimensional measurement

A wide and versatile range of accurate and remote measuring systems serving forging operations. The range counts applications for the under press 2D measurement or visual control and for full 3D reconstruction of the forged pieces.

In the open die forging sector, dimensional controls are usually carried out in manual way. The quality and accuracy of the measurements strictly depend on the operator's skills and production downtime are required. Some measures, useful to optimize forging operations are very difficult to get, and some other measures are quite long or imprecise. Furthermore, the presence of hot material makes this task difficult and it represents a major risk for the operators safety.

3D Portal

Measuring system for the 3D survey and dimensional check of hot or cold forgings3D PORTAL is an optical system, based on phase shift ranging, for the 3D survey and automatic dimensional check of hot or cold open die forgings according to use in the forging phase or in the finishing working process. The system, thanks to its flexible configuration, can be employed for the dimensional measurement of a wide range of open-die forgings, both axial-symmetric and special pieces, even for high-duty applications.

Laser Aid Forging (LAF) Equipment

Green lasers for visual dimensional control under pressVisible vertical sliding lasers to support manual length measurement and visible horizontal laser for the continuous control of thickness, length, heights, alignment and straightness that provide operators with visible assistance to forging operations.

Real Time Monitoring (RTM) Equipment

Measuring systems for the under press real time monitoring of forgingsRTM Equipment enables the real time monitoring of specific geometric quotes of the forged pieces directly under press. By exploiting different measuring techniques and designing different SW, mechanical and optical configurations MERMEC has designed a complete product ranges according to the shape of the pieces to be measured combined to the specific forge layout. Compatible with: squares, shafts and other complex profiles, rounds, shells.
